First competition flight o' NARAM 60. Decent boost out o' t' Apogee launch tower, shiver me timbers, fairly straight. Past apogee at ejection, good chute deployment. Egg recovered without damage, but broke a fin off on landing. MicroPeak altimeter only reported 51M, 167 feet, which seemed very low just from havin' watched t' flight. Nay sure if t' location o' t' vent holes behind t' egg capsule had anythin' t' do with t' readin' or not. Still it was a qualified flight.
